RIN TIN TIN was rescued as a pup from a battlefield in 1918 France during World War I. He was brought to the United States after the war and the training program led by his son, RIN TIN TIN III, served as the model to help create the U.S. Military Working Dog training program at Camp Hahn in California during 1939. “The long and accomplished history of the RIN TIN TIN line dogs serving as war heroes, animal actors in films and television and even as a search and recovery dog at the Pentagon after the attacks of 9/11, continues today as the current RIN TIN TIN is a member of the elite search dog recovery unit in Arkansas,” according to Daphne Hereford, President of RIN TIN TIN, INCORPORATED. “We’re proud to join with American Humane Association in recognition of the powerful relationship between dogs and people as celebrated by the Hero Dog Awards.”

“We are thrilled to have quite possibly the most famous dog in the world, RIN TIN TIN, join American Humane Association as our national spokesdog,” says Dr. Robin Ganzert, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Humane Association. “RIN TIN TIN will act as a representative for American Humane Association’s Red Star Emergency Response unit, currently deployed to rescue animals in flood ravaged Tennessee, as well as at a very special tribute to the search and rescue dogs involved in the recovery efforts after the attacks of 9/11 that will take place on September 8th at the Arts League in New York City. We could not ask for a more fitting national ambassador for our programs.”

Nominations close on May 31, 2011, and voting by the general public will begin on June 1, 2011.

The winner will be announced at the first-ever American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards celebrity gala, presented by CESAR® Canine Cuisine, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on Oct. 1, 2011.

‘Every Horse Deserves a Chance’ We are delighted that Gary Witheford the ‘Horse Whisperer’ is returning to the Game Fair in 2010. No matter what problem a horse brings with it, there is always a good possibility of change and the chance of a better life for the horse and therefore for the owner. Gary will be holding demonstrations over the weekend and accepting enquiries from the public for horses to be brought to the show and worked on by him, for further information please visit www.ukgamefair.co.uk.

At the 2009 show Gary spent lots of time talking to visitors, and to the horse owners that brought their ‘problem’ horses to the show to be worked on by him. Star of the Show was, in fact, NOT Gary but Kate, the little girl with her ‘naughty’ pony, Tina! She was the lucky winner of our ‘win a free clinic session 2009’ competition and won the chance to bring her pony to the show for Gary to work with her. Tina was generally difficult to handle and tended to bite and demand treats in order to let Kate catch her. Gary spent time teaching Kate and her mother techniques to help with these issues.

Lets Get Cooking! Food Writer and Cook Mary Kemp will be hosting the Cookery Theatre again in 2010 and we have a great line up of chefs including ITV’s Coastal Kitchen Master Chef Chris Coubrough, Franck Pontais, Aaron Smith (Hoste Arms, Burnham Market) and Steve Thorpe, (Head of City College Hotel School).
